I am NOT disparaging the product only claiming that CONTINOUS output of greater than 8.3 amps is impossible for a 100 watt panel. (100 watts= 12V x 8.3amps!!) and that therefore claims of 80-100 amp hours a day are ridiculous...especially since there are losses in the system and the owner says 6 amps is the average output INTO the batteries after regulation.
Sorry... I'm glad you are happy with the product but again...the laws of the universe don't get altered just cause somebody mounts a couple of panels on a rotating adjustable mount.
Sorry, but I am going to believe my eyes, and the eyes of LaLeLu over what folks who have not even seen the product say, no matter what the website says.

Once again, solar panels don't put out 12V. I would consider checking out the BP website for specs, as well as the Blue Sky website, and redo your math.

I don't produce reviews about products unless I see them in action, and research all the components.

I'll debate price with you all day, but the product does at least what it says it does on the website.
